THE GAS WEM.

A visit to. the gas well was made by
a News representative Saturday in
company of Mr.. Fl. Parkman. Every
thing was found to be working in good
trim, the late breakage having been
repaired and seventeen feet added to
the depth since Friday. Mr.. Patton
entertains strong hopes of striking
something soon. A flow of gas similar
to that lately struck by his namesake
at Olathe would be very acceptable.

WHAT'S GO0D MONEY!

A question which has often disturbed good
people is agitating the Long Island Baptist
association, whose members are discussing
whether the Baptist home, charitable in
stitution under the associations control shall
be permitted to receive and use a share of
the funds derived from the excise tax to
which it is entitled by Brooklyn city ordi-
nance. One party holds that the money is
tainted with the sinful practice Tor which
it buys liberation, and ought not therefore to
be used for the Lords work. The other ar
CUES that money is money, and if it he OBJ
tanned from its legal owner and not by steal
ing, its character is determined by the use to
which it is to be put and not by that to which
it has been put. The first party goes into He
brew history to establish its position by scrip
tural precedent, citing Abraham Moses, Da-
vid and Solomon, particularly the latter's ac-
ceptance of cedar timber from heathen kings
to go toward building the temple. The second
argues that the use of The money would be
an inferential Endorsement of the liquor
traffic, and would in a sense be doing evil
that good may come.
The question involved is one which will

the association is discussing it might inquire
whether the money obtained from the vari-
GUS gambling devices used at church fairs is
good money. And it might also inquire
whether it is just right for church to ac-
cept contributions" from gamblers and oth-
er men who get their money in a wrong
way. It might inquire whether that is good
money which business man who had made
toe sharp trade gives to the church as
salve to his conscience. In fact there is no
end to the interesting questions that might
be raised. In our most respectable churches
when ''the contribution box" is passed some
of the money that goes into it is tainted, if
it be believed that ill-gotten money is not fit
to use in religious work. If the Long Island
Baptist association will "draw the line" in
this matter it will ease many a tender con-
science, even if it drives away some of the
financial support which the churches have
hitherto had But we shall not be surprised
if the association fails to decide about the
license money and does not touch upon the
other questions we have suggested. They
are tickIish ones

but it is more economical in the end.

Democrats. The Bachellers gradually filed
up their shop with non-union men, most of
whom are natives of New England, and, as
the event proves, Republicans. Most of the

employment elsewhere, and thus the town

The Massachusetts, civil service commits
sioners have prepared a series of amend
ments to the civil service rules which have
been approved by the Governor and council
These alterations and additions define the
term 'veteran" as used in the law, and
adjust the rules in accordance with the re-
cent decision of the Supreme court, SO that
veterans may be admitted to the public ser
vice without competitive examination,
through proper form of application, prov
ing that they are entitled to the exemption
allowed by the law. Several of the amend
ments apply to the classified service, max
ing the terms of application and appointment
more definite, providing for express exami
nations of the applicants for the particular
branch of service they wish to enter, their
moral fitness for their work, their expert
ence, etc. Other amendments provide the
methods of promotion, transfer, degrada-
ton or discharge of officers or laborers and
the re examination of persons who have
once failed.
A western engineer proposes to irrigate
tract of land in Nevada by siphoning noun
tain lake. Lake Tahoe, sheet of water at
the summit of a lofty elevation, contains IN
limited supplies of the purest water, while
the dry and dusty land below bears naught
but sage bush. The plan is to carry line of
immense iron pipe up the mountain side and
over the brink, dipping down beneath the
surface. If the sanguine hopes of the pro-
jectors are realized powerful stream will be
continually forced by the well known laws
of nature. up through this pipe, down to the
valleys five hundred feet below, ts be uti-
lized not only in abundant irrigation, but for
mechanical purposes as we'll; for it's fall
from such height would develop force
of many hundred horse power. Thus not only
would the impracticable expense of tunneling
and boring to obtain water in ordinary ways
be avoided, but without pumping engines or
expenditure of artificial power of any kind,
and even without oversight. It is bold,
but apparently simple scheme
